Study Notes

Development Milestones in Infancy

  • At 2 months, infants can hold their head up, push when lying on their tummy, and display smoother movements with their arms and legs.
  • By 4 months, infants can hold their head steady and unsupported, push down on their legs when on a hard surface, and may roll over from their tummy to back.

Development Milestones in Early Childhood

  • Between 6-8 months, infants can roll from their tummy to back in both directions, sit without support, and stand while supporting their weight with their legs.
  • Infants can also rock back and forth, sometimes crawling backward before moving forward.
  • Between 9-11 months, infants can stand while holding on to furniture, get up into a sitting position, and pull themselves up to stand.
  • They can also sit without support, crawl, and react to rhythmic stabilizations.

Development Milestones in Late Childhood

  • Between 12-14 months, infants can sit up without help, pull themselves up to stand while holding on to furniture, and may take a few steps without holding on.
